Specifications
Safety Considerations
WARNING:
The FCA250 & FCA500 series frequency converters generate 115VAC (or 230VAC) power – the same voltage
coming out of a standard wall outlet. This voltage can be hazardous and has to be treated with the same cau-
tion as with a regular electrical outlet.
As with any other electrical equipment, the frequency converter must be protected from water and moisture
at all times.
